Eltomcat says original banana was small like a ball and had Lotta seeds not tasty

Banana we have now like a poodle


I was certain the old big brother to Cavendish? Was originalthe gros michel or whatever

Certainly no tropical fruit expert but we still have those small bananas here which are loaded with seeds. They arent as tasty to my pallet, but everyones is different eh.
I think the originals are smaller than the gros micheals....the seeded ones are about 1/2 that size

 

[Vnsmkr]

The smaller shorter fruits are way more tasty imo than those big long fucks we used to buy in the States.....Im not talking the seeded ones, but a shorter variety anyway

 

[Vnsmkr]

The big fucks in the States must have been Cavendish...The Gros Michels are what I like actually (I think)

There are still hundreds, if not thousands of banana strains. Not all of them can be shipped to the states. My Tampa cousins grow some small back yard bananas that have lots of flavor.

I have just eaten Dole and the Plantains from the store in Cali, I have no idea of the strains.
Usually under-ripe and suffering from a rotten center.
Crap quality, dont taste sweet or flavorful till they are almost black on the skin

Here overcharged as you mentioned and pulled early to last till they get to US and sold, so like pulling your favorite 9 week strain at 6.5 weeks, but top shelf price haha

Dont feel bad bassman I had no idea the names either till I searched. Me and my kids know chuoi, VN for banana.....all bananas are called that incl plantain since its a distant relative

Today I started cleaning up the rooftop a bit. Gonna hit it hard in the morning when I get up as I know Im going to make a serious mess while getting it tidy.
I harvested about 30# of turmeric this morning, didnt realize I had that many fucking plants.
